The Recordings

Encouraged by a variety of friends, fans, and advisors, I quickly discovered that I wanted to record both a studio and a live (either actually performed in a live setting or a mock-up of how I want the live versions to sound) version of each song. I practiced, took voice lessons, rehearsed, arranged, selected sounds for the tracks, practiced, and reworked many of the songs multiple times.

The Charity

As hate and unkindness rose in news stories, I realized that I wanted my music to be a force for good in every way possible. One aspect of this led me to choose a charity to benefit from the artist (me, in this case) proceeds. I chose ChildHelp. This was a natural choice given the themes of the song, “Snow Story”, which has two versions on the album.

The Art

I really appreciate the cover art. It was designed by the incredible artist and designer, Keith Link. The underlying photo is by Liane Metzler.

The Album

There are dozens of other people who contributed on all levels to help create this album. My gratitude is overflowing for all of you. Thanks to everyone who supported this process in ways that are far beyond what one person can imagine or create.

And thanks to all of you who will help end child abuse by listening to and downloading this album.
